Historical Theater: World War II

Tired of giving lectures on complex historical topics? Do you have high energy students looking for an outlet?

At Mano Koa Enterprises, we have developed an interactive lesson strategy which enables students (especially the high energy ones) to do the teaching for you with Historical Theater: a hands-on bodily kinesthetic activity which expresses complex points of view during an historical time period.

Historical Theater activities provides classrooms with an active and engaging way to tackle issues in the past while creating memories that students will carry on years after the class. Students are encouraged to come in class appropriate costumes (even if it's just a scribbled mustache) and commit to their roles with class appropriate improvisation. Since all historical theaters are intentionally designed to portray differences in race, gender, political philosophy and/or socioeconomic status, AP US History students get the added benefit of sharpening their Point of View skills on the Document Based Question portion of the test.

This product contains a lesson plan, PowerPoint, Historical Theater Scripts for the following historical figures:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (U.S. President)
Albert Einstein (Famous Scientist and U.S. Immigrant)
Charles Lindbergh (Famous Pilot, Leader of "America First" Movement)
Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. (Tuskegee Airman and Squadron Leader)
